What will the Dems pull to mess with the Nov Elections?

Apparently, the new tactic is fake Tea Party Candidates...

Maybe I should put up some election signs.

Outside every factory and office building:

Vote Democratic!
The People with Jobs
Can Pay for What You Need!

Read that this morning. It's just a case of tit for tat. The republicans have done the same thing with the TEA Party and the Partiers bought it.

IMO, its not so much the Democrat or Republican politicians that are going to stir up drama but the supporting groups on each side. A lot of the "independent" groups that support both sides are flooded with cash and are just itching to spend it on smear campaigns. Karl Rove is a master at political propaganda so expect something good from his group real soon. The dems are every bit as good at this as well.

I don't understand this. Both sides have plenty of representatives that exaggerate and lie about they values and intentions. But not being honest about your own intentions is not the same thing as creating a division among the public that favors the other side. Only one side seems to be pursuing that strategy.

Yeah, it would be like me registering as a candidate for the True Democrat Party when I'm actually conservative. I would spout left wing platitudes and my only purpose would be to split the democratic vote.
Totally dishonest, but it might work.
It is exactly the kind of thing Saul Alinsky (author of Rules for Radicals and Barack's hero) would approve.

I rather strongly suspect there will be a severe
demoncratic attack in the US before the elections, with an immediate military strike against some useful republican target, hoping to show the Dem leadership doing something.
